Be it known that l, LYNN C. LULL, a citii zenfoi the United. States, residing,r at the city oi'Y Kalamazoo, county oi' li'alainazoo, State oi' Michigan, have niwntcd'a certain new and l,useful liiiproveincnt in MotorVehicles, of

which the following a specification.

'ihis inventioi'i relates to impro veinents in iin )i (ir-vehicles.

flhc obii'ects oi this invciitionarc, iirst, to provide an improved motor-vehicle in which the dust created by its inoveinent over the road-bed is dellected laway from the vehicle; second` to provide an iniproved inotor-vehi `cle adapted. to accomplish 'the object stated in which the air passingr through. the heat radiating;- device is utilized.

Further objects vand objects relating toingr iicieatures oi" in v invention, taken on a lino corresponding to line l l oi Fig. 2. Fig". 2 is al transverse vertical sectional view taken on line 2 2 oi Fig. l..

ln the drawings the sectional views are taken looking inthe direction ol" the little arrows at the cnds of the section-lines, and siinilar letters of' reference rcler to similar parts throughout the several views. y

Referring: to the lrawiiigs, A represents the vel'iicle-bod y, which is mounted upon the running-gear in the usual or any desired inanncr. The vehicle-body is irovidcd with an upwardlyiuclincd footboard o and a dashboard a'. The inotor D is mounted on suitable crosspicccs a on the body A, as appears in Fig. 1. The inotor inclosed by a casing or hood @extending forwardly from. the -`foot and'dash boards a a. This casingv is open at thcl bottom. The heat-radiating device B arraiigged 'n the forward ond of the casing or hood E.

The 'fan C is arranged at the rear of the heat-radiating; device B.

. and driving connections from said rearwardlyuiroinf;the .heatmadiating device. 'i`lief fan (f is providedwith an open-ended conical casingA C, the small end of the'casing projecting rearwardly. This casing projec- .-1 rearwardly from the heat-radiating device, as clearly appears in Fig. 2. The fan C is connected to tlieishaft d of the `motor by the belt c, which. connects the wheel c on the hub of the fan C with the wheel d on the'shaft d. The inotor D is located to the rear of the fan O, so that the air delivered thereby is delivered onto the motor, thus assisting in cooling the saine. heat-radiating device by the fan is forced rearwardly through the casingr E and 'is de- Aliected downwardly by the inclined footboard a, so that it deiiects the dust Which-arises from the movement of the vehicle over the road away from the vehicle. The fan by this arrangement serves a double purposethat of creating a current through the heatradiating device and deliveringit upon :the motor for the purpose of properly cooling the cylinder and of dci'lecting the dust from the vehicle. A further advantage is that with the parts thus arranged the exhaust from the motor is carried away from the vehicle in an, elfcctive manner. 'il aving thus described Iny invention, what I claiin as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The air drawn through the l. in a motor-vehicle, thc combination of a vehicle-body; an inclined footboard and a. dashboard therefor, with a casing lor hood projecting forwardly i'roin said foot and dash boards; a heat-radiating device at the forward ond of said casing or hood; a fan supported to the roar of said heat-radiating device; a conical open-ended casingior said fan projecting rearwardly 'from' saidheat-radiat ing device coacting with said hood, footboard, and dashboard, to direct tlic air-cur:-
